In an effort to reduce congestion in Pune’s expanding IT corridor, the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) has begun removing unauthorised structures blocking a key link between Hinjewadi Phase?2 and Marunji Laxmi?Chowk.
Acting under commissioner Yogesh?Mhase, teams from several departments started work on Thursday to reclaim the corridor from Wipro Circle to Laxmi?Chowk. The final 300 metre stretch is now under construction and is expected to be completed in 15–20?days.
Earlier notices had been served where illegal buildings diverted or obstructed natural drainage paths. With clearing operations under way, some local businesses have voluntarily dismantled their extensions to support the project.
Once open, the route will connect directly to Laxmi?Chowk, easing daily traffic for residents and thousands of IT employees who currently endure lengthy detours through crowded Hinjewadi roads.
